You're right... those masters of CDMA NOK/IDCC are really in control with WCDMA.. that's why Jorma was quoted as saying they're 18 months behind in CDMA a week or two ago... and why they are now outsourcing 2G chips (undoubtedly much easier than 3G...) through Telson/QCOM. That's why Ericsson capitulated and signed the deal with QCOM on CDMA and bought their infrastructure division, because they were the leaders...

Nobody said ALL of the IPR was QCOM's... The statement was that WCDMA is built on the back of QCOM's IPR...i.e. that the system won't work without it. I'm sure there are NOK IPR for the changeout of the multi-colored casings, and ERICY IPR for the way in which the keypad/display screen uncovers, and IDCC IPR for the rotation of the propeller on the beanie that comes with each handset as a cooling device...
